Human For performance management to be effective, it must have the backing or support of the executives. Until executives understand the purpose and how it works all efforts by other levels of management will fail. The role of the executive is key in ensuring performance management is effectively deployed all through the organization.

According to a study sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The study team gathered data using two data collection instruments: an online benchmarking survey and a phone-based qualitative benchmarking interview guide. Ninety-two organizations completed the online survey and 14 organizations participated in one-hour interviews. The study revealed several essentials for effective performance management. These include:

• Strategic alignment,
• A results-oriented organizational culture,
• Executive buy-in,
• Unambiguous performance evaluations, and
• Integration with other talent processes.

Management and leadership team must support and help drive performance management. Leaders must be committed and actively engage their teams in performance management by activating and providing support and recognition to managers and employees who exhibit the expected behaviors and actions. Without leadership support, performance management will not be successful no matter how well-designed the process is.
